[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-311?page=all ]
John Martin updated OFBIZ-311:
------------------------------
Attachment: fop-0.92-upgrade-patch.zip
Here is the patch to upgrade ofBiz FOP support from 0.20.5 to 0.92. A few
notes:
- Attached is a zip of the files changed for the FOP upgrade.
-I've tested the fopRenderer.java class by accessing the URL
https://localhost:8443/content/control/fonts.pdf. This class was in which
before but I'm pretty sure it should be fine.
- The barcode functionality works but I question if the actual bars in the
barcode are correct because they look odd to me. I don't have a reader to
validate them.
- From enclosed README.txt file:
The included files are to be used to upgrade the FOP functionality in ofBiz
from version 0.20.5 to 0.92.

> Working on upgrading the FOP (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/) rendering
> engine used in ofBiz to generate PDF documents.
> We had the need to use more advanced layout functionality than what 0.20.5
> offered. Version 0.92 offers a lot of improvements. From the apache site:
> * More than half of the codebase has been rewritten over the last three
> years. The code is relatively new and possibly not as stable as version
> 0.20.5 in every regard. But the code is quickly approaching production level,
> especially when you're happy with only PDF and PostScript output.
> * The API of FOP has changed considerably and is not backwards-compatible
> with version 0.20.5.
> * There have been changes to the end-user API between 0.91 beta and 0.92
> beta. With version 0.92, the API is now considered stable. Some methods have
> been deprecated and will be removed with the next release. If you upgrade
> from 0.91 beta, you will need to adjust your Java code.
> * The new code is much more strict about the interpretation of the XSL-FO 1.0
> specification. Things that worked fine in version 0.20.5 might start to
> produce warnings or even errors now. FOP 0.20.5 contains many bugs which have
> been corrected in the new code.
> NOTE:
> - The last bullet point was accurate and some of the fo.ftl templates were
> broken (i.e. invoicePDF.fo.ftl). <fo:table-row> must contain
> <fo:table-column> and <fo:table-column> must contain <fo:block>.
> - Rendering of images are now done at their "natural" size unless you use the
> properties content-width or content-height. The height and width attributes
> don't seem to have any effect on the rendering.
> - Some of the XSL-FO documentation that I read also recommended avoiding the
> use of 'px' (pixels) to define the size of objects since pixels is a screen
> resolution and may not translate well to other devices. They recommend using
> mm or in for dimensions.
